Each had a problem they had never before shared with anyone, not even each other.

The Groom-to-be, overcoming his fear, decided to ask his father for advice.

"Father," he said, "I am deeply concerned about the success of my marriage."

His father replied, "Don't you love this girl?"

"Oh yes, very much," he said, "but you see, I have very smelly feet, and I'm afraid that my fiance will be put off by them."

"No problem," said dad, "all you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and always wear socks, even to bed."

Well, to him this seemed a workable solution.

The bride-to-be, overcoming her fear, decided to take her problem up with her mom.

"Mom," she said, "When I wake up in the morning my breath is truly awful."

"Honey," her mother consoled, "everyone has bad breath in the morning."

"No, you don't understand,. My morning breath is so bad, I'm afraid that my fiance will not want to sleep in the same room with me."

Her mother said simply, "Try this. In the morning, get straight out of bed, and head for the kitchen and make breakfast. While the family is busy eating, move on to the bathroom and brush your teeth. The key is, not to say a word until you've brushed your teeth."

"I shouldn't say good morning or anything?" the daughter asked.

"Not a word," her mother affirmed.

"Well, it's certainly worth a try," she thought.

The loving couple were finally married. Not forgetting the advice each had received, he with his perpetual socks and she with her morning silence, they managed quite well.

That is, until about six months later. Shortly before dawn one morning, the husband wakes with a start to find that one of his socks had come off.

Fearful of the consequences, he frantically searches the bed. This, of course, wakes his bride and without thinking, she asks, "What on earth are you doing?"

An Italian girl just got married. Being poor she and her groom had to live with her mother. On their first night they went upstairs to consummate their marriage while the mother made dinner.
Up in the room the groom removed his shirt. Seeing all of the hair on his chest the girl ran down to her mother.
"Ma ma, Ma ma! He has ah hair all over ah his back!" (not easy to type a fake Italian accent)
Mama just keeps stirring the sauce, "It's ah ok child. Go back up to him."

The girl got back upstairs to see that her groom had removed his pants. Seeing all of the hair on his legs she ran downstairs.
"Mama Mama! He has ah hair all over ah his legs ah."
Mama just keeps stirring the sauce, "It's ah ok child. Go back up to him."

The girl went back upstairs to see that her groom had removed his socks and shoes. When she saw that one of his feet had been cut in half she ran down to her mama.
"Mama Mama!! He has ah foot and ah half!"
Mama handed her the spoon.
"Ok girl. You stir the spaghetti, I'm ah goin' upstairs!"

I didn't enter the world until 1960 and did so stateside. No way for me to know if you list is true nor do I have a way to compare/contrast it to how things were across the pond. Still, absolutely fascinating! Thanks for sharing!

"I remember when I started dating my wife, I used to get all excited and aroused just watching her eat a banana.
After 20 years of marriage to her, I can only get excited at the thought of her choking on it."

She's single...
She lives right across the street.
I can see her condo from my deck.
I watched as she got home from work this evening.
I was surprised when she walked across the street and up my driveway.
She knocked on my door...
I rushed to open it.
She looks at me, and says, "I just got home, and I am so horny! I have this strong urge to have a good time, get drunk, and make love all night long!
Are you busy tonight?"
I immediately replied, "Nope, I'm free... I have no plans at all!"
Then she said, "Good! In that case, could you watch my dog?"
This being a senior citizen sucks!!!

Good one! Reminds me of this oldie:

Man #1: I need to find a new girl
Man #2: What happened to the girl you were seeing?
Man #1: She finally bought blinds.

Which reminds of this oldie:

Two nuns living in a convent were told by Mother Superior paint their room in anticipation of a visit from the Bishop.

Not wanting to risk getting any paint on their habits, the two nuns decided to undress while painting in the privacy of their room. Midway through the job, they heard a knock at the door. "Who is it?" called the first nun.

"The blind man," called the male voice from the other side of the door.

The two sisters exchanged a look. Before heading to the door, the second sister shrugs and says, "Well, if he's blind, it shouldn't matter." She swings open the door to the man.

"Nice tits," said the blind man has he handed over their new window blinds.

Which reminds of THIS one:

A nun was taking a shortcut back to the convent through the park when a man jumped out of the bushes, grabbed her and raped her. When he was done, he realized he had just fucked a nun. Being a godless man, he smirks and asks the nun, "What are you going to tell the sisters when you get back to the convent?"

The nun looks up at him and says, "The truth. That I took a shortcut through the park and man grabbed me and raped me twice... unless you're tired."
